The Infectious Myth – Bob Dickson on Fluoridation – 02.06.18

In episode 173 David discusses fluoridation with Bob Dickson, an MD. Calgary, one of Canada’s largest cities, has an interesting history with fluoridation, with several plebiscites before a majority was achieved in favor and then, several years later, a city council decision to remove it. A highly misleading study was published claiming that cavity rates went up faster in now unfluoridated Calgary than in fluoridated sister city Edmonton. The discussion is not just about local issues, but also about the flawed science used to support water fluoridation, and the increasing amount of science indicating its harms.
